Impacts of personalized nursing intervention on medical compliance of patient with rheumatoid arthritis

Objective To explore the impacts of the personalized nursing interventions on medical compliance of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods A total of 60 patients with RA were randomly classified into experimental group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). The patients of control group received routine medicine treatment and specialist nursing care. In the experimental group, personal profiles were established and all patients of the experimental group applied personalized nursing interventions based on control group. The rehabilitation status and medical compliance were observed before and after interventions in two groups, and treatment efficacy was evaluated by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and compared and analyzed between two groups. Results After 12 weeks nursing interventions, the improvement of ACR20 in the experimental group was better than that of the control group (χ2=4.344, P<0.05); early morning stiffness, joint swelling and tenderness of the experimental group ameliorated compared with the control group (t=-4.524, -8.283, -5.842; P<0.01); the difference of medical compliance was statistical significant between two groups (χ2=10.76, P<0.05). Conclusions For patients with RA, personalized nursing interventions can effectively improve their medical compliance and clinical efficacy.
